1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

background and purposeCharcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is the most prevalent hereditary neuropathy worldwide and classically has slow nerve conduction velocity (NCV), in most cases below 38 m/s. Two unrelated patients with motor NCVs in the upper limbs above 38 m/s are reported.

methodCase report.

resultsTwo genetically confirmed CMT1A patients are presented, from two unrelated families (one of British origin and the other of Brazilian origin). Both individuals had upper limb motor NCVs above 38 m/s, with values ranging from 41.9 to 45 m/s in the median nerve and from 42 to 42.3 m/s in the ulnar nerve. They presented with a very mild phenotype, with CMT Neuropathy Score version 2 (CMTNSv2) of 6 and 5, respectively. In contrast, affected family members within both kinships exhibited a classical phenotype with more severe disease manifestation (CMTNSv2 ranging from 12 to 20) and motor NCVs below 30 m/s.

conclusionThese cases, although very rare, highlight the importance of testing PMP22 duplication in patients with intermediate conduction velocities.
